Arva Bhavnagarwala

Arva Bhavnagarwala is a pediatrician and a writer based in Mumbai, India. When not seeing patients or being patient with her two boys, she loves to scribble words here and there. These words then form stories and she gets an adrenaline rush when these stories connect with her readers. Arva’s short stories have appeared in The Hooghly Review, Active Muse, and Woman’s Era amongst others. A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE is her debut novel.
